The Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) says a workshop on energy efficient ship design and marine equipment will work to further facilitate Danish-Chinese cooperation on the topic.

The workshop is set to be attended by DMA, the Chinese Ministry of Industry, and other Chinese authorities, as well as shipowners, marine equipment manufacturers, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Danish Maritime.

"Cooperation between the Danish and Chinese authorities is a strong tool that facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experiences," said Andreas Nordseth, DMA Director General.

"This is especially so within green ship design and marine equipment, where a major shipbuilding nation such as China is an important partner. I am pleased about the great support for and interest in this cooperation on the Danish part."

Alongside the workshop, Danish Maritime and the Shipbuilding Information Center of China will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for further cooperation within green shipbuilding and green maritime technologies and offshore equipment.

"The Memorandum of Understanding has its basis in the existing agreement on cooperation between the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs and the Chinese Ministry of Industry in the same area," explained DMA.
